Objectives
Clerkship Objectives
- Describe airway anatomy relevant to bag-mask ventilation and endotracheal intubation
- List indications for endotracheal intubation, use of LMA, and indications for mechanical ventilation
- Provide a patent airway in an unconscious, adult patient, with or without the use of an airway device (oral or nasal airway), with minimal or no assistance.
- Prepare airway management equipment: laryngoscope, suction, styletted endotracheal tube, laryngeal mask airway.
- Position the unconscious, adult patient or appropriate simulation device for insertion of an LMA or for performance of laryngoscopy with minimal assistance.
- Insert an LMA with minimal assistance in an unconscious, adult patient or appropriate simulation device. Demonstrate attention to patient care and safety during insertion. Assess appropriate positioning of the device.
- Perform laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation with minimal assistance in an unconscious, adult patient or appropriate simulation device. Demonstrate attention to patient care and safety. Assess appropriate positioning of endotracheal tube.
- Calculate appropriate endotracheal tube size for pediatric patients.
- Describe criteria for extubation
- List the types of patients who are at highest risk of aspiration. Explain how we prevent aspiration and describe how aspiration is treated.
